[WTP Congress] Consider the following...

Day 2,375, 22:28 Published in USA USA by Talostastic

I am Talostastic, and I am seeking my fifth term in Congress.

In the past four Congresses I've served on, I have voted with both my head and my heart. I have always believed Country > Party > Self. Yourself, myself, my party, your party, we all should try to do our best to benefit our Country.



That is where my head and heart have to cooperate. Everyone has their own ideas of what benefits our Country. There are two camps on almost every issue. Work Tax, PMU vs USAF, Canada or not. These are issues that starkly divide our country, creating outrage, sore feelings, and drive a wedge between players who considered each other friends.



My heart says that the Work Tax should be 1%, we should love our Canadian brothers (and everyone else in the eWorld), and USAF should be either abandoned or privatized.

My head says that we need to do whatever strengthens the country, even if it's mildly inconvenient for you or I. There need to be programs that ease that inconvenience for everyone, but there's pushback against it from the weirdest places.



My vow to you is to continue to keep my finger as close to the pulse of the party, and country at large, as possible. To continue to vote with my head and my heart. You won't always agree with me, but hell, I don't always agree with myself.
